Genealogy
Mother: A Kelpie
Description:

As kelpies go, Morogog's mother was rather typical of her species. Out of the water she resembled a beautiful white horse. In the water she was much different. Her body became green, clammy, and cold. Her hooves became long trailing fins, and the hair of her tail and mane fell out as it was replaced with boney, poisonous spines. Now with a set of sharpened, carnivore teeth Morogog's mother would then devour whatever poor soul she had lured into the water with her, be it a stallion or some other curious creature. His mother certainly had some form of intelligence and was fully capable of speech. However, she was true to her predatory nature through and through. Morogog's mother didn't make much in the way of friends.

Father: A Sea Serpant
Description:

Just as the name implies, Morogog's father resembled a massive, black snake. He had a powerful, scaled body and bright yellow eyes. His tail was flattened for easy propulsion through the water, and in his mouth were two hooked, poisonous fangs. A solitary hunter, he made his home in the shallows of the ocean, hunting for fish. He was certainly not against making a meal of a sea bird or something else with red meat though when the opportunity was presented to him.

Ability
Name: Drool
Element: Biology
Strength: Limitless
Range: Morgog can only use this power on creatures that he has bitten and have contact with his saliva.
Description:

Morogog always appears to be drooling heavily. Saliva dribbles down from his lips in thick strands, often hanging from his chin and swinging in the occasional breeze. Sometimes he'll make an effort to mop up his face if he feels doing so would be polite, but more often than not he feels no need. Morogog's saliva, if it were to make contact with an open wound, would have an effect that is just as disgusting as his manners. His mouth is quite...well. It's dirty. Bacteria of all sorts make their home in between Morogog's teeth and gums. It's really best to avoid being bitten by the chap. If Moro were to ever give someone a bit of a nip, the wound would quickly become disgustingly infected, and quite literally begin to rot. In a matter of days, if the injury goes untreated, the one bitten could find themselves dying from blood poisoning. Because of this ability, Morogog can take down rather large prey with just one bite.

This also means he has a terrible case of bad breath.

Acquired: Morogog was born with this ability.

Lips / Nails: Morogog's lips and gums are a very dark shade of purple. When angry, they will darken to jet black. His claws vary between yellow and black, depending on how clean he is on any given day.
Eye Colour: All of Morogog's eyes are a bright, predatory yellow, speckled with black. His five smaller eyes in the center of his head have vertical pupils while the two eyes on either side of his head have horizontal ones.
Skin Colour: Morgog's skin is a bright, poisonous green. It is cold and slimy to the touch, much like a frog's.
Weight / Height: Morogog stands at about four and a half feet at the shoulder. When standing completely upright, his long neck can easily bring the top of his head about six feet off of the ground. He is easily twelve feet in length, including his powerful tail. Morogog's muscled body easily weighs around six hundred pounds.

General Appearance and Structure:

Morogog is such a mish-mash of a creature it's impossible to really label him as much of anything. In general construction, his body is long and otter-like. His legs are on the short side, keeping his belly close to the ground. Despite his short legs, on land Morogog can be quite speedy for short bursts. He is capable of a reptile-like scuttle as well as a rabbit-ish bounding motion. The monster is still obviously awkward on dry land, so much so that it is nearly comical.

However, in the water Morogog is almost graceful. Webbed feet allow him to propel himself easily through his aquatic home and his long tail can send him flying through the water like a missile. Morogog will paddle like a dog through the water at times, keeping his nose and eyes just above the surface to allow himself to breathe and look about like a grotesque crocodile. Other times he will tuck his legs close to his side and curl his body in an S-shape like a snake to glide seamlessly through the depths. Either way, Morogog is far more comfortable in the water than he is on dry land.

Morogog's skin is green, shiny, and slimy. On the sides of his head he has two fins that his capable of fanning outwards and moving forward and back, much like a set of ears. On his long neck he has a second set of fins, much taller and longer. The bony tips are pointed and actually quite sharp if anything were to attempt to grab him at the back of the head. Again, this structure is capable of standing straight up or laying flat to his neck. Morogog's long tail has a two inch long flap of skin on either side. Unlike the rest of him, this flap of skin is colored yellow. This stripe of coloration extends on either side of his body from the flap on his tail to the outer corner of his eyes.

Morogog's head is large and long, a mixture of crocodile, horse, and dinosaur. Interestingly, he has seven eyes. Five small eyes are in the center of his head, three in a row at the top with two more at the bottom. On either side of his head he has two larger eyes. Morogog does not possess true eyelids, but instead a thin membrane will occasionally flick over his lenses to keep them moist.

Morogog's nostrils and ears are positioned at the top of his head to allow them to stay up and out of the water. Both his nostrils and ears will seal tightly shut if he goes beneath the surface. The creature can hold his breath for up to two hours underwater if he stays relatively still.

His mouth is by far his most intimidating feature. Morogog has many large, triangular pointed teeth. They are slightly hooked as to prevent him from losing hold of something once he latches on. At the front of his mouth he has something similiar to tusks. The bottom and top teeth are long and jut horizontally from his face. When his mouth is shut, these teeth interlock and stick out from his lips. Morogog's gums are purple, which, when he is angered, darken to almost black. A three foot long forked, purplish tongue is often flickering from his mouth and tasting the air. The tongue is extremely sensitive, but powerful enough to strangle a smaller creature should Morogog feel inclined to do so. He can also lick his eyeballs, but that's besides the point.

Typically, Morogog is covered in a good coating of swamp muck, algae, and thick mud. He isn't a very clean creature.

Personality
Fears , Strengths , Weaknesses:

Because of Morogog's amphibious nature, he avoids dry climates. He will become extremely sick and eventually die if his skin dries out too much. He must stick by some body of water for this reason. Morogog is awkward on dry land and far more at home swimming in the water. He does not possess gills though, and is an air breather. He is equally comfortable in salt water and fresh.

Morogog's face is extremely sensitive to changes in temperature and movement because of receptors on his snout for picking up such things.

His tongue, if injured, will cause him to scream in pain. If pinned by the tongue, he is basically incapacitated.

Morogog tends to rely more on instinct than thought process. For instance, Morogog is deathly afraid of fire and avoids it at all costs. However, the monster is also extremely inquisitive, curious, and impressionable while not being the brightest bulb in the box.

General:

For a toothy monster, Morogog is oddly childish. He is playful and rambunctious, and loves to have a good romp in the swamp. Much like a dolphin, he will jump into and out of the water when he is feeling happy and do other kinds of acrobatics. He is extremely inquisitive, and enjoys investigating things that he finds in the water or new creatures that he meets.

As may be expected, Morogog has had little contact with other intelligent life because he's...kind of intimidating. A drooling, toothy monster isn't the best at making friends. To top it off, Morogog isn't a particularly complex being. though he has potential to become a greater thinker, for the time being there isn't much going on upstairs. He could be described as almost innocent if it weren't for the fact that he has a tendency of eating most of what he finds. In general, it seems that his stomach comes before his brain. If Morogog is hungry, all bets are probably off. Morogog generally restricts his diet to fish and crabs that he finds, but he has a particular fondness for red meat that he can't seem to ignore. A ravenous eater, he is a vicious ambush predator at heart and enjoys the hunt.

At the back of the monster's mind there is a longing for something more. It is a desire that he hasn't really recognized or expressed, but it is there all the same. Though he does not know it he is a lonely thing. He desires company and comfort, someone that he can talk to and show all of the wonders of his usually hated swamp home to. Someone that will show interest in the shining shells that he scraps from the bottom of the lagoon, and someone that he can be sure will not be off put by his startling appearance. Friends are something the monster wants but does not understand himself.

History

General Before Roleplay:

Morogog started life in an egg. It was a fairly large egg, about the size of a basketball, and it was stuck to the underside of a rocky outcropping near the sea. The egg was jelly, the majority of it clear save for the black speck in the middle that was Morogog. When Morogog hatched he was about a foot long, and dark green. He was nothing but a mouth with a tail and swam about in the shallows snatching up fish. The more he ate, the bigger he became. Eventually, he grew legs and scrambled out of the ocean and onto the rocky cliffs of his home. It was not long before he grew to his full size and developed a functioning brain. Well, it functions for the most part.

Morogog made his slow journey from the sea into the swamps and marshlands seven years ago and has remained there ever since.

General After Roleplay:

APPROVED

I see nothing wrong with this character and all criteria has been met, I'm more than happy to say that he is approved.

First of all, the level of detail is amazing. You wrote him incredibly well and I just couldn't stop myself from grinning at the idea of him just cruising around being a big stinky monster. I already love him and I'm really keen to see him talking with another character in the RP, if he doesn't eat them first, I'm sure it will be quite amusing.
